Christmas is a time for giving gifts and spending time with family and friends. And if you're Alyssa Milano, it means taking the high road.

Milano took to Twitter on Christmas Day to call out comedian Jay Mohr for making negative comments about her weight, but Mohr got off pretty easy. "So sorry you felt the need to publicly fat-shame me," she tweeted at Mohr. "Be well and God Bless. Please send my love to your beautiful wife."

Mohr got himself in hot water when he talked about a NASCAR event he and Milano both attended in Las Vegas on Dec. 6. "She was one of the presenters. ... She's very tiny. In height," Mohr said of Milano in a subsequent radio interview, according to the New York Daily News. "It seems like she had a baby and said, 'I don't really give a sh--' ... I read it on her gut."

Milano, 41, welcomed her first child, son Milo, in August 2011. Mohr, 43, and his wife, actress Nikki Cox, have two children together.

Mohr then referred to Milano as "Melissa" instead of her real name. "'Melissa what's-her-name'" was very nice but didn't look so great," he added. "Somebody sat in the director's chair and was not wearing Spanx and I was like, 'Jesus Christ.'"
